Abstract

Background/Aim: Clinical data concerning synthetic meshes in comparison to acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction are limited. Also, direct comparisons between titanium-coated polypropylene mesh and partially absorbable polypropylene mesh have not yet been reported. Materials and Methods: This analysis represents a retrospective, single-surgeon, multi-center study of 320 cases using either TiLoop Bra/TiMesh (R) (n=192) or Seragyn (R) (n=128) in breast reconstruction. Results were compared with ADM-based reconstructions (Epiflex (R) and SurgiMend (R)). Results: Major complication rates (i.e. revision surgery) occurred in 3.9% (Seragyn (R)) and 8.3% (TiLoop Bra/TiMesh (R)) of all cases. Minor complications occurred in 18% (Seragyn (R)) and 8.9% (TiLoop Bra/TiMesh (R)). Subgroup analysis showed red breast syndrome to occur more often in the Seragyn group (3.9% Seragyn (R) vs. 0.5% TiLoop Bra/TiMesh (R), p<0.05). Conclusion: TiLoop Bra/TiMesh (R) and Seragyn (R) do not differ significantly in complication rates. There was no difference in performance when compared to ADMs.
